Building Hoima’s Resilience to Extreme Heat!
Alongside @DCAUganda and Local Works Foundation, we held inception meetings at the City, Division and settlement levels in Hoima City to introduce the Uganda Urban Heat Adaptation and Community Resilience Action (U-HARC) project.
The engagements brought together local government leaders and key stakeholders to build a shared understanding of the project, strengthen collaboration and secure local ownership for addressing the growing risks of extreme heat.
Over the next 24 months, the project will be implemented in Lusaka and Kibingo settlements, in Hoima City’ two divisions, to strengthen community awareness, assess heat-related risks, and support locally led adaptation solutions.
By connecting community experiences with city planning and policy processes, the project aims to improve residents' health and well-being while strengthening Hoima's capacity to plan for and respond to extreme heat.
